Larger muscle fibers and fiber bundles manifest smaller elastic modulus in paraspinal muscles of rats and humans
Abstract The passive elastic modulus of muscle fiber appears to be size-dependent. The objectives of this study were to determine whether this size effect was evident in the mechanical testing of muscle fiber bundles and to examine whether the muscle fiber bundle cross-section is circular. Muscle fi...
